Although the Zschopau marque established its reputation with the British motorcycling public as the purveyor of reliable if somewhat unexciting commuter machines, the East German concern had been in the forefront of high-performance two-stroke development in the post-war years. Under the direction of Walter Kaaden, the racing team achieved some notable triumphs against the might of Japanese opposition in the 1960s and although its Grand Prix effort eventually faded, the firm produced many highly successful ISDT machines in the 1970s. Last taxed for the road in 2011, this MZ roadster will be MoT'd immediately prior to sale and is described as in generally good condition and fully functioning mechanically. The machine is offered with SORN, expired MoT (2011) and V5C registration document. A total of 11,700 miles is currently displayed on the odometer.
